================================================
Things started off gray across much of Central Alabama on this last day of January. Skies cleared during the morning, giving way to sunshine in most spots. Clouds were slowest to break up across the Black Belt of South Central Alabama. Temperatures are in the 40s this afternoon across the entire state, as cold air continues to flow in on northerly winds. Tennessee Valley locations struggled to make it to 40 degrees. Lows tonight will fall into the upper 20s under clear skies.
THE WEEK AHEAD: Monday will feature increasing clouds by afternoon as a trough moves eastward out of the southern Plains. This disturbance may shake out a few sprinkles Monday night into early Tuesday across Central Alabama. A low pressure system will form over the eastern Gulf and move northeastward out to sea. It will spread rain into the Carolinas and perhaps some light snow back into Virginia Tuesday night. Because of its track, it will not be a major storm. We will return to partly cloudy and seasonable conditions on Wednesday, but clouds will thicken again on Thursday and rain will return to Alabama during the afternoon. Looks like a good soaking rain for Thursday night as the low tracks up into Alabama before moving into Tennessee.
WEEKEND: Showers will hang around on Friday as the low runs into an atmospheric traffic jam and is only able to move slowly northward into Kentucky. Colder air will continue to flow into the state. Highs on Saturday will be in the 40s and Sunday may see temperatures not getting out of the 30s. There could be periods of drizzle or snow flurries over the weekend.
WEATHERBRAINS: Monday night's show will include Guest Panelist Thom Benson from the Tennessee Aquarium. The former television meteorologist is the Communications Director for the landmark Chattanoooga attraction. He will be talking about their February exhibition "The Wild Side of Weather." Many of the 10,000 animals that live at the Aquarium have weather folklore stories about them, and Thom has combined their stories into a fascinating exhibit The Guest WeatherBrains will be amateur radio experts that will talk about the hobby and its role in weather observation gathering, severe weather spotting and disaster response.

ON THIS DATE IN 1989: After extremely warm temperatures the day before, the mercury plummeted 85 degrees in 36 hours at Great Falls MT. Valentine NE recorded a temperature drop from 70 degrees to zero in just 9 hours. The extreme cold caused the brakes on a Montana freight train to fail. The train rolled into Helena and exploded. Extensive damage resulted. The barometer rose to 31.85 inches at Northway Alaska, establishing the all time highest reading for the North American continent. The air temperature at Northway was a numbing -46F. When pressures this high occur, commercial aircraft often have to be grounded because their altimeters cannot be set that high.
